Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Am I late to the party on this one? I feel like cauliflower crust was “sooo 2013” in the foodie world but either way, I’d never made it because I didn’t actually believe it would work, or that it would be as delicious as it is. On our recent vacation to Washington state, Will and I… Read More»
Spinach-Pesto Salad with Farro
Are you down with the farro (pronounced like the King Tut Pharaoh)? Don’t be intimidated— it’s just another ancient grain like quinoa and barley except farro grains are a little bigger and chewier. Think big, plump, oversized oats having children with brown rice and you’ve got farro. Why use it? Well first because it’s a… Read More»
Coconut Kale Smoothie
You put the kale in the coconut and blend it all up! That’s how it goes right? This is one of my favorite kind of recipes, the kind where you don’t use measuring cups or spoons, you just throw in a little of this and a little of that. It’s got all the good stuff you… Read More»

Healthy Two-Grain Southwest Salad
Confession: I don’t eat traditional salads or sandwiches for lunch. I despise the boring, cold, desk salad with wilted lettuce and lame, tasteless cucumbers and tomatoes. And don’t get me started on the cold cut turkey sandwich on whole grain bread. Can you get more boring? So what do I eat for lunch?! Power bowls,… Read More»

Confession: I am not a sandwich person. I am really not a traditional salad person either. I don’t do fast food. So what do I eat for lunch? Most often, at the beginning of the week, I’ll make myself what I call a “base,” made up of a whole grain like brown or black rice,… Read More»
